What is an "ax"?
An ax is a hand tool with a heavy, sharp blade attached to a handle, used for chopping, splitting, or shaping wood. The blade is typically made of steel and is fixed to the handle, which is usually made of wood or fiberglass. Axes are commonly used in forestry, logging, and carpentry, as well as for tasks like splitting firewood or clearing plants. The user swings the ax to strike wood, and the sharp blade helps cut or split it. Axes come in different types, with variations for specific tasks, such as cutting down trees or chopping smaller branches.
